Russet-mantled Foliage-gleaner

So, now considered monotypic, and yet Baer's Foliage-gleaner was once considered to be a separate species, eg, Peters 1951.
 
Deconychura longicauda

BARBOSA, Ivã. Revisão sistemática e filogeografia de Deconychura longicauda (Aves - Dendrocolaptidae). 2010. 99 f. Dissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Pará, Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, Belém, 2010. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Zoologia.

Abstract:
The interspecific limits of the polytypic specie Deconychura longicauda (Dendrocolaptidae) were investigated by a combined analysis including molecular, morphological, and vocal characters. A total of 1,108 base pairs of mitochondrial genes Cyt b and ND2 were used to build phylogenetic hypotheses, whereas the morphological and vocal characters were analyzed with univariate and multivariate statistical methods. All recovered trees indicated high levels of genetic differentiation and phylogeographic structure in Deconychura longicauda, with the recognition of four major groups well-supported statistically and geographically consisting of birds from (1) the Guiana area of endemism in northeastern South America, (2) the Amazon basin excluding the Guianan shield, (3) the eastern slope of the Andes and (4) trans-Andean South America and Central America. The levels of genetic divergence between these clades reach 6-8% (among birds from Guianan, non-Guianan, eastern slope of the Andes and, trans-Andean birds). Although morphological characters contribute little to the diagnoses among Deconychura, loudsongs, consistently distinguish them. Based on those analyzes, we recommend the splitting of D. longicauda into the following phylogenetic and biological species based on their molecular and vocal unequivocal diagnoses: Deconychura longicauda, D. pallida, D. zimmeri, D. connectens, D. typica and one yet unnamed taxon endemic to the eastern slope of the Andes.

Abstract:

Rapid diversification may be caused by ecological adaptive radiation via niche divergence. In this model, speciation is coupled with niche divergence and lineage diversification is predicted to be correlated with rates of niche evolution. Studies of the role of niche evolution in diversification have generally focused on ecomorphological diversification but climatic-niche evolution may also be important. We tested these alternatives using a phylogeny of 298 species of ovenbirds (Aves: Furnariidae). We found that within Furnariidae, variation in species richness and diversification rates of subclades were best predicted by rate of climatic-niche evolution than ecomorphological evolution. Although both are clearly important, univariate regression and multivariate model averaging more consistently supported the climatic-niche as the best predictor of lineage diversification. Our study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that climatic-niche divergence may be an important driver of rapid diversification in addition to ecomorphological evolution. However, this pattern may depend on the phylogenetic scale at which rate heterogeneity is examined.
 
Sylviorthorhynchus vs Leptasthenura

TiF Update May 4, 2017

Leptasthenura: It has been brought to my attention that Sylviorthorhynchus has priority over Leptasthenura. I now follow H&M-4 in putting Des Murs's Wiretail, L. desmurii, and the Tawny Tit-Spinetail, L. yanacensis, in Sylviorthorhynchus. The division between these two sister species and the remaining Leptasthenura Tit-Spinetails is quite deep (Derryberry et al., 2011).
